Are Gemi Clamps with MB Star still sold by MB?

[JPMOSE]

I just noticed that I have two new Gemi clamps with MB symbal on one of my air hoses (near intake hose on right side behind air cleaner).  My mechanic is out of town or I'd ask him about them. These are the "C" type clamp style used originally on the car.  Does Mercedes Benz still sell Gemi clamps?

I don't think Mercedes sells them anymore, but I believe they are still available from Gemi dealers. Do you mean the cotter pin-syle or the high-pressure-style clamp with the Phillips-head screw in it?

High pressure clamp style.

Peter Lessler sells these gemi clamps as a kit forum. It takes a lot of attention to figure it out but if you want orginality its is a way to go. understand that the Gemi clamps are only used on certain hoses only.

Bob,

I think Peter sells the Wurth clamps. They're similar, but identical.

Doug,

I can't help but ask "similar, but identical" how does that work?

Pete is working up a quote me this week.  I was just surprised when I noticed the clamps installed by my mechanic were GEMI and had Mercedes stars on them, as I thought they were not obtainable anymore (with stars).  It's the little things in life.....

Oops. I mean't to say "similar but not identical."

The Wurth hoseclamps are a high-pressure hose-clamp design but don't have a phillips-head screw in them.

I'll try to snap a few pix later today.

There's a very good thread on this subject from last year. Run a search on the phrase "clamps in the engine bay" and you'll find links to each of the manufacturers of these "similar but identical" hose clamps.  [:0]
